While I am one of those (apparently evil and misinformed depending on who you are talking to) people that holds to the theory of Evolution, I also am of the opinion that something engineered that evolution. From my point of view that would be a few Gods and Goddesses.

My belief is that the ultimate power, the sourse, is a universal energy - where it all started. Infact, there are Gods and Goddess that represents various attributes of this energy, which I call "real" God.

Now, life has progressed through evolution, no doubt, but we will have to acknowledge to the fact that there is something that gives and contributes for such an amazing act.

I have no problems meshing religion and science. I take religion to encompass eternal laws, while science explains the laws which we understand. As our understanding increases these seemingly conflicting sides will exist in harmony.

I do not believe that Intelligent Design should be taught in science classes; there's simply no undisputed empirical evidence to back it up.

Yep, as usual, Vamp has put it pretty well...
Though there is also my cynical side saying that, if we were designed like this on purpose, "Intelligent" would not be the word *I* would choose for it!

actually, given the purpose and function, the design was perfect. It is what we do with that design that is flawed.

As for education, I really do think it should at least be mentioned. Right now, the religion of Atheism is being taught in school... that it all began from some unknown gas that managed to explode. There's no proof, at all, for that, yet it is taught as fact.
